What is the difference between gold-plated and gold-filled jewellery?
Gold-plated jewellery has a thin layer of gold electroplated onto the surface of the base metal. Gold-filled jewellery, on the other hand, has a thicker layer of gold bonded onto the base metal. Gold-filled jewellery is more durable and longer-lasting than gold-plated jewellery.
